I would love CAC to pull something out of the hat tomorrow to give us another top 15 pick

Not sure what we could do, but a combination of Brad Miller and pick 21 to Sydney might get their pick 11? Ok probably not, but I hope something is done

I also would like to see CJ traded for a pick

The more picks the better

CAC just on SEN...he said he dont have any more trades on the cards, tho he said that he will still be talking to the other clubs up until the deadline.

dont expect any more deals, perhaps only trading CJ for a 3rd rounder...

Miller will definitely be a demon next year, Bailey believes he can turn his potential into success

I was thinking the same thing. Miller will be staying though. Bailey i think will want to return Brad back to his crash and bash ways of '04, he just needs to be taught when the right time is the right time, and how to do it properly.

SURELY they have not given up trading Carrol already! Given the hawks "DESPERATION" for a backman, I would have though carrol would have been an option.

I am still suprised carlton has not gone after Carrol. They could on trade thornton for Boyle, and still have a solid backman in carrol.

Ok..i'll say it for us all.. cant wait to see exactly what this potential is that we've all obviously overlooked ( sorry.. 95% of us all) This I must confess is the only aspect of this week that confounds me. Happy to take even two serves of humble pie if he can get this guy to be useful on a football field !! He must have somethig particular in mind as he's been rather purposeful in the short whiles he's been at the helm. I await the realisation of the vision !!

I would be shocked if anything else happened. I mean only CJ and Carroll are up for option. Fergs isnt worth a single grain of rice. Be a bit upset to lose Carroll. I dont rate him highly as a fb but i think he could be a good back pocket player taking the 2nd best forward for the oposition. Its good if he get anything from pick 1 - 40 but after that its not worth it.

Would love another couple of draft picks. The more the better.

CJ for a third rounder and Miller for a second rounder will do nicely. Although if we can orchestrate a way to get a top 15 pick I would be ecstatic.

Yeah good luck to Bailey with Miller. If he becomes a player, i'll eat my hat, and everyone elses here as well.

no i will be excited for him and the club. i had high hopes for him but there have been a few issues. his kicknig hasnt developed. it should have. his game hasnt developed. it should have. he has no confidence and is a liability on the field these days.

if he continues like he is going we should trade him and run, if we can get more out of him we keep him he could be valuable. if bailey wants to keep him good on him. and good luck to miller. hopefully he can become the player we thought he could be.

Ok I realise I am being roundly ignored, but one more time.....

Sydney will not be giving up their first round draft pick.

Roos has said so, Maxfield has said so, the press up here has had it said many a time now.

I think that we all need to move on from the fact that it would take an absolute miracle to get that pick out of the Swans grasp.

And the closest thing we had to that miracle was TJ (and I don't think that would have been enough for them either) so, you work it out.......

fergs actually looks like a single grain of rice so your statement is spot on!

i think carroll we should defintely keep - problem is with our undersize backline he plays as a key position not on the third tall.

by the way can someone tell me how old miller is and what year was he drafted?

I agree Deanox, if we could get a second rounder for Miller and get McKinley across for maybe TJ, then it would cap off our week nicely. I still see value with retaining Frosty, but is that value greater than a second round pick?

Miller has just re-signed for two years.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
